I was a freelancing bum when I started Mogging and have long since waited to resume posting long and nerdy again. Here's me and a warmup.In the music magazine of heaven, Steve Albini and Butch Vig share a glossy spread for entitling a single rock band that entitled a full decade in rock history. In the fringes, you should find Mark Kramer. He elevated the grayscale newsprint with defining momen...

When you buy a 60gig MP3 player, in your mind you will have enough storage for every song ever recorded. But as I have been creeping towards maxing out on my capacity I have to be oh so selective as to what makes the cut, and what doesn'tJust a quick example of how things have changed. I used to LOVE those hidden tracks at the end of a CD...but today as I was uploading Urge Overkill's 'Saturat...

Here is my epic. My 'Citizen Kane', my 'Gone With The Wind' if you will, of lo-fi quick do it your self videos. Its is a whopping 6 and 1/2 minues long and the music doesnt start till about half way in...because i found the first clip was dubbed in Greek and i thought that odd and amusing,(plus i read today that if I include an Anna reference in my post i will get many, many 'likes')...and then...

A few nights back we were watching an old episode of The Office, the one where the temp stars a fire and the whole staff has to wait outside for the firefighters to put out the flames. While they're waiting Jim asks his co-workers their top five desert island DVD's. This inspired Michelle and I to try to come up with our own lists.I have to admit I used to loathe coming up with these lists. Jus...

It's a Gorgeous day here in New York, 72 degrees (22c), not a cloud in the sky. Going back out there, thought I'd take a minute to drop a couple of tunes. No rhyme or reason.*artwork by "Sparth":http://www.sparth.com/

As much as I hate my wife's car and driving it on Friday's (long story), I've taken the opportunity to get reaquainted with some old tapes. Today's tape was Urge Overkill - Saturation. This band should have been huge. They kind of got there with the momentum from their song in Pulp Fiction, but they just couldn't break free. It might have had something to do with their next album "Exit the Drag...

If any band seemed to have a 'destined never to make it' curse it was Urge Overkill. I think a combination of acting like rock gods before having a weighty enough base of great songs and the inevidible mischief that goes along with the hedonistic sex'n'drugs side of things took their toll on the band before they could get as huge enough to justify their behaviour. Plus they were introduced to a...

In the early '90s, in Vancouver, a friend dragged me to a show by a band from Chicago called Urge Overkill . Good show, good band, nothing earth shattering. Then a couple years later he sat me down and put on a record called Saturation . We played that thing into the ground. This was a record that was simply not of the times. Urge Overkill didn't look or sound the same as anyone else. They were...
